" was a more barbarous primitive man than either Edward or Harold, but he is not to be blamed: he came from a more barbarous primitive country."īut it is this point of view, and this conversational tone that makes this book so enjoyable. He infuses the book with his own point of view, which at times can be borderline Francophobic. Howarth uses mostly contemporaneous writings (17 of his 20 sources are within 100 years of the Battle of Hastings) to decipher and tell the history of the battle between King Harold of England and William the Conqueror of Normandy. It is a great storyteller's version of events as he understands them. ![]() ![]() This is not a comprehensive history of the Battle of Hastings, and it is not meant to be. ![]() 6/29/2023 0 Comments Matched book by ally condie![]() ![]() What is Matched About and Why Should I Care?

We encounter fluids within the plane―from hand soap to liquid crystal display screens―and without: in the volcanoes of Iceland, the frozen expanse of Greenland, and the marvelous California coastline. But do we really understand how much we rely on liquids, or their destructive power? Set on one of the author's transatlantic flights, Liquid Rules offers readers a tour of these formless substances, told through the language of molecules, droplets, heartbeats, and ocean waves. We know that we need water to survive, and that, for some of us, a cup of coffee or a glass of wine can feel just as vital. Sometimes explosive, often delicious, occasionally poisonous, and always fascinating: the New York Times bestselling author of Stuff Matters offers an "entertaining discussion of the various ways our lives are enriched by fluids” ( The Wall Street Journal ). ![]() ![]() The Groundwork for the Metaphysics of Morals works backwards from this fact of our experience to determine by what "right" we feel these duties and choose to follow them. The ability to feel the pull of a duty whose legitimacy we recognize- even though we might feel inclined to do otherwise-is for Kant the basic fact of our experience that lets there be a moral philosophy at all. Duties are those things we feel that we must do-often in spite of the fact that we don't want to do them. Dutyįor Kant, duty is the opposite of inclination. For Kant, the law is the means by which human minds connect themselves to one another by seeing themselves as part of a community of rational thinkers. The appeal of the law for Kant is its ability to be universal, and therefore to bring us out of the problem of solipsism and relativism-namely, the belief that our moral judgments are relevant only for us, and that we have no right to hold others to the same standards. ![]() ![]() The law is a crucial concept in all of Kant's work, and he frequently uses law-related images and language, especially that of judging. Kant believes that for moral judgments to be valid they need to be based on a law, and to be formulated as a law. ![]() 6/28/2023 0 Comments The love and lies of rukhsana ali![]() Through reading her grandmother's old diary, Rukhsana gains some much-needed perspective and realizes she must find the courage to fight for her love without losing the connection to her family as a consequence. ![]() Her parents are devastated and decide to whisk Rukhsana off to Bangladesh, where she is thrown headfirst into a world of arranged marriages and tradition.
